("Prayer" opening.)
Tara: Welcome to Foundation. This is the start of something huge, the first Foundation of 2005 and the first RCW program ever on nationwide network television. RCW Foundation on Fox is on the air and this is Tara Fisher alongside RCW's owner and CEO Jon Z.
Jon: I needed a close look today as we're about to kick off the biggest tournament in wrestling. We're going to see the first three matches of the Road to the Revolution, and it starts right now.
("Pajamarama" hits and Huh makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: I wonder if Huh is even focussed on the tournament tonight. He's been distracted ever since Cheesecake disappeared some weeks back.
Jon: I don't think I've ever seen Huh focussed on anything, except Brother Jim. Ever since Darkest Night when Huh learned with the rest of the world that Brother Jim was responsible for Cheesecake's vanishing, the good Brother has had a huge target on his back.
("Soul Creation" hits and Cynric makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: This man on the other hand is getting very focussed.
Jon: He's pulling double duty tonight. Just signed before the show went on the air we will see the entire Heel Stable including RCW Champion Nykk in action tonight against our RCW Tag Team Champions Alan Mayse and Austin Lee, and the RCW Television Champion Ronin Fox along with his brother Cynric.
Tara: Cynric has been pushing himself harder than ever to show that he deserves to be a player here in RCW. If the main event tonight isn't enough to prove that, he's got an excellent chance here as part of the Road to the Revolution.
Huh vs. Cynric
Road to the Revolution Tournament Match
Round One, Cell A
(Cynric and Huh lock up, Cynric quickly taking Huh down with an armdrag. Huh fights an armbar, getting up to his feet. Cynric keeps him under control with a hammerlock. Huh pushes Cynric back into the corner and Cynric lets go. Huh turns around and gets hit with a hangman's neckbreaker. Cynric covers for a two count. Huh rolls toward the ropes and pulls himself up to his feet. Cynric charges for a clothesline, but Huh ducks under and pulls the top rope to low-bridge Cynric to the apron. Huh stands up and catches Cynric with an overhand chop to the chest and pulls Cynric into the ring with a vertical suplex. Huh points to the corner and signals for the Huhsault. He climbs to the top rope and flips backward, but Cynric rolls to the outside as Huh crashes to the canvas. Cynric climbs to the top rope and waits for Huh to stand. Cynric hits a top rope front kick and rolls toward the corner, waiting for Huh again. Huh gets up to his knee and gets caught with the Lift-Off. Cynric pulls Huh into a Boston Crab and Huh taps out.)
Winner: Cynric by submission.
Tara: A definitive victory for Cynric and a strong statement to start off the Road to the Revolution.
Jon: Don't forget we're going to see two more matches for this tournament here tonight. We have plenty of action stored up for tonight, stay with us.
(Backstage, Colt Cabana steps out of the locker room.)
Colt: Hey, you, come here skippy. Get that camera on me. You hear the latest? The Pyro Twins aren't getting an automatic rematch! It turns out its in the rulebook that if you don't defend the titles at least three times in the month before you lose it, you lose your contendership status and have to start from the ground up! This is really going to piss them off once they hear it...I'll be right back! Hey, Jay! Guess what I just learned?
(Commercial break.)
("Copa Cabana" hits and Colt Cabana makes his way down the aisle.)
Tara: Now wait. What's Colt doing out here?
Jon: He was right about what he said before the break. Jay Crowe and Dusty Schneble did not defend thier Tag Team Titles often enough to keep thier rematch clause in effect. They are going to have to prove themselves worthy of a rematch with Alan Mayse and Austin Lee with thier win loss record now. I'm not sure what else he'd have to say though.
Colt: This is a historic occasion. Right now, more people are watching Colt Cabana at once than ever before! Not only am I here to make sure the entire world has a great time, I'm here to make an announcement. You see, like just about everyone here, Colt Cabana is entered into the Road to the Revolution Tournament, and I can't wait to win my way to the gold. In fact, I think I'll need some more gold to tide me over until WrestlingRevolution. So I said to myself yesterday, "Self? What should I do to fix this little problem." And I had the perfect answer. The RCW Tag Team Championships! Right here, right now, I'm declairing my intentions. I've had a great history in tag team wrestling, and I'm ready to show it to the world by winning the RCW Tag belts! And what better way to prove these intentions, then by taking down the former champions. Next week, right here on Foundation. I'm calling the Pyro Twins out!
("Fuel" hits and the Pyro Twins make thier way to the ring. Jay picks up a microphone and stares down Colt.)
Jay: It seems you forgot a couple things Colt. First of all, we might not be number one contenders for the Tag Team Titles, but we have laid our claim on them. Those belts have belonged to us since RCW came into being, and they will belong to us until the company folds or the Earth crashes into the sun. Second of all, to be a tag team champion, you need to be in a tag team, you dingus. You don't have a friend in that locker room to call on. You want to face us on your own, we'd be happy to tear you apart.
Colt: Now now now, it's true there haven't been too many folks around for me to trust or tag with since the not so glory days of the Cabana Boys, but that's recently been remedied.
(Colt steps out of the ring and to the floor.)
Colt: Now it gives me great pleasure to introduce, if I may, the next competitor in the Road to the Revolution, a new acquisition for RCW, my new...and old tag team partner and a great guy for karoke, from the great city of Chicago, CM Punk!
("Miseria Cantare" hits and CM Punk walks down the aisle.)
Tara: CM Punk! CM Punk is here in RCW!
(Punk poses for the crowd outside the ring then joins Colt Cabana to slide inside the ring as the Pyro Twins slide out.)
Jon: CM Punk made a few appearances in the early days of FPPVW, and made an even greater impact behind the scenes. He is making his RCW debut right here tonight.
(Jay and Dusty stare into the ring and back away. Dusty grabs the mic.)
Dusty: You want a match next week. You never have to ask for a fight from us. We'll be there, and we'll be ready.
Tara: They sound tough, but are they intimidated by CM Punk?
Jon: Tough or not, taking on the Second City Saints is not something to jump into lightly.
(Punk continues to soak up applause.)
Jon: It's good to be back in Ohio for this night. CM Punk has a lot of fans in this state and throughout the midwest thanks largely to his excellent work in Ring of Honor. I can only imagine the response he's going to get next week when we'll be back in RCW home country of Dayton Ohio.
("Personal Jesus" hits and Brother Jim makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: I wonder what Brother Jim thinks of his opponent tonight. It seems the good brother should approve of Punk's straight edge lifestyle.
BJ: I will not be fooled, ye sinner!
Tara: Or maybe not.
BJ: The rejection of alcohol and other evil substanses is not enough for the good of your soul, for I can see the wickedness upon you and within you. You seek to make all these people "One of us" like that blasphemous song you blair into thier eardrums, and I know you will lead all who listen to you astray into the domain of a demon. There is guidance for how to deal with such a man, Punk, in Deuteronomy 13. "...do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord..."
(Punk shrugs and hits a suicide dive to the outside, knocking BJ down as both of them roll up the aisle. Punk pulls BJ up and drags him toward the ring, pushing him in and rolling in himself as the bell rings.)
CM Punk vs. Brother Jim
Road to the Revolution Tournament Match
Round 1, Cell B
(Brother Jim stands up quickly and backs up against the ropes. Punk smirks and stands in the middle of the ring, waiting to lock up. BJ steps forward and ties up with Punk, dropping down for a fireman's carry. Punk lands and turns onto his knees, tripping BJ backwards and turning him over to grab a hammerlock. BJ twists away and gets up to his feet. Punk trips him again and reaches for a headlock, but BJ rakes the eyes. Punk stands up and backs away, and BJ presses the advantage, turning Punk to set up a back suplex. BJ covers to get a two count. Punk kicks out and shoves BJ back. When BJ attepmts to lock up again, Punk ducks under his arms to pull him into a gutwrench suplex. He again locks on a hammerlock. BJ fights to his feet as Punk keeps the hold and uses it to spin BJ and pull him in for a clotheline.)
Jon: Punk has been feeling out Brother Jim in the early going here, and I think he's about to turn up the pressure. He calls that the Pepsi Twist, and I hope Pepsi appreciates the free advertising.
(Punk pulls BJ up to his feet and attempts a delayed vertical suplex. BJ breaks loose and lands behind Punk, shoving him toward the corner. Punk uses the momentum to jump up to the top rope and turn around, hitting a flying corkscrew crossbody. Punk rolls to the ring apron under the bottom rope and stands up. BJ gets up soon after and turns toward Punk. Punk stuns BJ with a right hand and bends him down to attempt a sunset flip. BJ grabs the ropes and uses them for leverage as he sits out and gets a two count on Punk. The ref sees BJ holding the ropes in time to stop the count. BJ stands up and argues with the ref very loudly about God's mission and emphasis of morality over tactics. Punk stands up and locks on a hammerlock again, pulling BJ into a Devil Lock DDT. He turns BJ over and hits a crooked leg moonsault, covering for two. BJ kicks out and uses the bottom rope to pull himself to the outside. Punk slides out to try and follow him, but BJ rushes around the corner and slides back in. Punk follows him and slides in as well. BJ catches Punk with a series of quick knee drops to the back then pulls him parallel to the ropes. He goes to the apron to attempt the Leap of Faith, but Punk sits up to avoid it. BJ stands up, holding his left leg and gets caught in a double underhook by Punk. Punk hits a double underhook backbeaker and covers for three.)
Winner: CM Punk by pin.
Tara: Brother Jim falls prey to "Welcome to Chicago..." I can't really say the rest of that name on the air, but ask around, it's well known to CM Punk's fans.
(Colt and Punk celebrate on the outside of the ring as Huh suddenly runs in from the crowd and tries to attack BJ. BJ rolls to the outside. Huh chases him up the aisle to the back.)
Jon: Huh, still just a step too slow to catch Brother Jim, even after a grueling match.
Tara: What's he going to have to do to finally get his hands on Brother Jim?
Jon: I don't know, but what I do know is that both Cynric and CM Punk have a great start now in the Road to the Revolution Tournament. We still have one more tournament match to go tonight, and don't forget to tune in this Friday for This Week In RCW when three more tournament matches will be shown.
Tara: Don't forget we still have that huge eight man tag match as well. Four Champions will be in the ring with this one. Don't miss it.
(Commercial break.)
("Another One Bites the Dust" plays as Dru Stoke warms up in the ring. "Let's All Go to the Lobby" hits and Concession Boy Sr. makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: Welcome back to Foundation, we're set for our third and final tournament match of the night.
Jon: Dru Stoke in the ring tonight, he's been pulling double duty lately. After being sent to Future Pay Per View Wrestling just down the highway in Dayton he and his tag team partner Aaron Bowman have been working there against the young talent and touring part time with us here in RCW. Those two have real superstar potential, and they are working hard to hone it. The Concession Boyz have both entered themselves into this tournament. All these men have been looking for the opportunity to make a major mark on RCW, and what better way than main eventing the showcase event, WrestlingRevolution.
Dru Stoke vs. Concession Boy Sr.
Road to the Revolution Tournament Match
Round 1, Cell C
(Dru locks up with CB Sr and backs him into the corner. Dru gives Sr a clean break and backs away. Sr rushes forward and locks up with Dru, pulling him into a front facelock. Dru counters with a series of knees to the midsection and a couple kicks to the ankles before hitting a northern lights suplex. He bridges for a two count.)
(Sr rolls to the apron, but Dru catches him and brings him back into the ring with a vertical suplex. He rolls through and covers for two. Sr kicks out moves quickly, getting a snapmare on Dru and running the ropes, hitting a dropkick to the back. Dru gets to his feet and it thrown to the corner. Sr charges into the corner and launches Dru out of it with a hurricanrana. He pulls Dru up and tries to set him up for the Dr. Bob Beer Bomb. Dru blocks Sr from lifting him and counters into a roll up for three.)
Winner: Dru Stoke by pin.
Jon: Wow, I wasn't expecting that out of Dru.
Tara: Dru is normally a power player, he goes for impact, but he just out-grappled Concession Boy Sr. in that match to finish things off.
Jon: Don't forget to check on RCW's official site ppvrenegade.com for official standings in the Road to the Revolution, and for updates on our return to Pay Per View, January 29, RCW Genesis.
(A promo for RCW Genesis plays to the tune of "Right Now" by Korn.)
(Back in the ring, Pinky is putting on giant boxing gloves as Vix steps into the ring, both of them are laughing.)
Jon: Oh man, here comes this again.
Tara: These two started a playful rivalry involving those oversized gloves last week at various RCW live events. They went out during the intermission to keep the fans entertained. It got such a good reaction we turned the cameras back on once to capture it for This Week in RCW.
(The This Week in RCW clip is shown, then the camera cuts back to Vix putting on her gloves. Before they can start, "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" hits and Kumiko Indohara makes her way to the ring, accompanied by Ms. Vanessa. Kumiko has a long red robe draped over her shoulders.)
Vanessa: That is about enough! We stood by while this spectacle went on last week, but I'm not going to let this eat up airtime!
Jon: Interesting decision for her to make, considering Vix is a Vice President with a good deal of scheduling responsibilities.
Vanessa: When I brought my client to this company, it was to elevate the sport of women's wrestling. We were told that this was not an organization that would put women in demeaning gimick matches.
Tara: Well, I sure haven't seen any pudding or gravy used.
Jon: And you won't as long as I'm in charge. Especially gravy...I don't know who thought that was even sexy, that's just gross.
Vanessa: So instead of girls spanking eachother in bra and panties matches...we get foxy boxing? This is supposed to earn some respect for female atheletes?
(Vix and Pinky just shrug, Pinky takes off one of her gloves and gets a mic.)
Pinky: I just thought it was fun.
(Vanessa gets in the ring and right in Pinky's face.)
Vanessa: Fun? All these people are laughing at you! When they laugh at you, they also laugh at me, my client, and every woman in that locker room. You are making us a joke! What do you have to say to that?
(Vanessa shoves Pinky back, who stops, shrugs, and slugs Vanessa in the face with the remaining boxing glove. Vanessa gets knocked down as Pinky slips out of the ring and up the aisle. Kumiko stares at her with fierce eyes. Vanessa stands up quickly and almost goes out to follow Pinky, but stops and turns back to Vix. Vix just smiles and shakes her head, dropping her gloves and leaving the ring.)
Vanessa: That is enough! You want a woman to box on this show, we'll give you one!
(Vanessa pulls Kumiko's robe off her shoulders to reveal Kumiko dressed to fight with regulation boxing gloves on.)
Vanessa: Any woman in that locker room, the door is open. If you're woman enough to step into the ring with my client for three rounds, we've got a trainer and ring crew standing by to get you ready.
Tara: Is she serious?
Jon: I believe she is, look.
(A man walks down the aisle with various supplies, including water bottles, mouthguards, and a second pair of boxing gloves. Behind him are members of the ring crew, who start to modify the ringposts and ropes to closer resemble boxing standards.)
Tara: Well, we have everything we need except for an opponent.
Jon: That might be a problem. It isn't anyone who'll step into a match like this, especially with someone as tough as Kumiko Indohara.
("Come Out Swinging" hits and Lisa Letty makes her way to the ring.)
Jon: But then, this isn't just anyone. Lisa Letty is not one to back down from a fight.
Tara: What kind of experience is she going to bring to this though. I know I've seen Kumiko use boxing training as part of her normal workout, but I don't know if either of them have actually sparred.
Jon: We'll get an indication of that soon enough. We need to take a break, we'll be back with this match right after this.
(Commercial break.)
(Lisa Letty is now sitting in the corner, fully prepared for the match as the hired trainer and referee are conferring with her.)
Jon: Welcome back to Foundation. If you're just joining us, we are about to see Lisa Letty take the challenge of Kumiko Indohara for a boxing match. It's been explained to us that this will go a maximum of three one minute rounds. Referee Eric Bower is in charge in the ring, and will decide a winner at the end of the match if there isn't a decisive knockout. There is a three knockdown rule in effect.
(The ref motions both fighters to the center of the ring and goes over instructions. They touch gloves and back up as the ref calls for the bell.)
Kumiko Indohara vs. Lisa Letty
Boxing match
Round One
(Lisa and Kumiko circle eachother slowly. Lisa starting things off with a series of quick jabs. Kumiko deflects them easily. Lisa tries a jab followed by a right hook, but Kumiko stuns Lisa with a straight right to the chin. Kumiko powers several shots to Lisa, several of them landing and forcing Lisa back to the corner. The ref tries to separate them so Lisa can get away from the ropes, but Lisa and Kumiko tie up and take short body shots at eachother until the bell rings.)
Round Two
(After a thirty second rest, Lisa and Kumiko step to the center of the ring again. Lisa seems more careful this time. Focussing on blocking Kumiko's jabs and hooks. Finally, when Kumiko drops her guard for a moment, Lisa fires a crisp jab and starts to unload a series of punches to Kumiko's head. Kumiko tries to cover up, but Lisa gets several shots through her guard. Lisa shifts her focus, delivering several hard hooks to Kumiko's midsection and backing her up to the ropes. Kumiko ties up with Lisa and spins away from the ropes, letting go only to get caught with an uppercut. She stumbles back and falls to a knee, but is up as the ref counts two. He checks to see if she wants to continue as the bell rings again.)
Round Three
(Lisa tries to press her advantage as the third round begins with quick jabs and straight rights, but Kumiko blocks all of them, seeming surprisingly fresh. Lisa gets frustrated and tries to power through Kumiko's guard, but Kumiko stays strong and eventually shoves Lisa back to set up a hard hook to her stomach and a crisp overhand right to her nose. Lisa gets knocked back to the ropes and steps forward directly into another hard right hand that sends her spinning to the canvas. The ref counts as Lisa struggles to get up. She is on one knee as the ref counts eight and the bell rings. Lisa collapses.)
Tara: She wasn't knocked out in the offical match, but I'm not sure if she would have stood up or not.
Jon: She was close either way, but I don't think the bell really saved her, that last round made it pretty academic in this match.
(The ref lifts Kumiko's arm, declaring her the winner.)
Winner: Kumiko Indohara by referee decision.
(Ms. Vanessa celebrates outside the ring as the trainer comes into remove Kumiko's gloves and check on Lisa, who is sitting up in the corner.)
Jon: I wasn't sure what to think when this match started, but I'm impressed that it stayed a fair contest.
Tara: It's not the normal style when Ms Vanessa is out with her client, she actually was able to step back and let Kumiko handle herself. I'm surprised at how stronly Kumiko came back in round three though. Lisa had her on the run in round two, I thought she could have had things wrapped up right there.
(Replays of the match are shown)
Jon: We have one last commercial break, stay tuned for our main event.
(Commercial break.)
("Sad but True" hits and the Heel Stable comes out in force. Nykk leads the pack while Jay and Dusty trail behind him and Joey skateboards in a zig zag in the rear.)
Tara: This is going to be a very interesting match to watch, some of the biggest stars in RCW all together to usher in a new era of the company on the Fox Network. The Heel Stable is here to leave a lasting impression on our new audience.
Jon: Just last week on Foundation, we saw Nykk issue a strong statment in reguards to the championships in RCW, claiming he is going to gather them all under the Heel Stable banner. Nykk himself holds the top prize, the RCW Championship, the Pyro Twins just recently lost the RCW Tag Team belts to Alan Mayse and Austin Lee, Ronin Fox has held the RCW Television Title since it was established last October. All those men will be in action right here tonight. Every championship in RCW short of the Ladies RCW belt held by Shadow.
Tara: Be sure and tune in this Friday to see Shadow in action as she teams with Naomi Leach to face Lisa Letty and Concesison Girl.
("Seven Nation Army" hits and Alan Mayse makes his way to the ring.)
Jon: Alan Mayse, the first ever RCW Champion, as well as the first FPPVW Champion. Current co-holder of the RCW Tag Team Championship. This man is the most decorated athelete in the building right here.
("The Way I Am" hits and Austin Lee makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: Austin Lee shocked many people when he came out as Alan Mayse's tag team partner last week to capture the belts. The RCW Tag Team title is Austin Lee's first championship here.
Jon: The Pyro Twins have to be pissed now that they've found out they have no rematch clause for the titles. Now they have to prove themselves to the RCW board as being worthy of a title shot, although a strong showing here might just do the trick.
("Soul Creation" hits and Cynric makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: Cynric pulling double duty here tonight after winning the first match in the Road to the Revolution Tournament.
Jon: This is an excellent opportunity for Cynric to get in the ring with the RCW Champion. He's had a hunger for gold recently, even challenging his brother for the Television Title last month.
("Wherever I May Roam" hits and Ronin Fox makes his way to the ring.)
Jon: And speak of the devil, here's the RCW Television Champion.
Tara: He had what many have named RCW's match of the year of 2004 against Brother Jim at the return of FPPVW last month.
Jon: We'll be seeing that match one more time on our next episode of Foundation, Ronin Fox will again take on Brother Jim as the Road to the Revolution Tournament continues.
The Heel Stable vs. Alan Mayse, Austin Lee, Cynric, and Ronin Fox
(The teams face off as the ref tries to separate them to get a one on one start. Alan Mayse stays in and he points to Nykk. Nykk steps to look him in the eye, then smacks him. Alan rushes forward, but Nykk ducks back and pushes Joey to the center of the ring before sliding under the bottom rope. Alan catches Joey and hits him with a backbreaker. He goes to the ropes and yells at Nykk, trying to get him to come back to the ring. Instead Nykk pushes a security guard out of a ringside chair and sits down. Alan gets up on the bottom rope and yells louder as Joey stands up. Nykk points behind Alan, but Alan doesn't turn. Joey steps up behind Alan and tries to grab him for a roll up. Alan kicks back at Joey's head and jumps back from the bottom rope for an elbow drop. He pulls Joey up and puts him in a side headlock. He holds up his hand toward the Heel Stable corner and again challenges Nykk to tag in. Instead, Jay tags in and knocks Alan back with a quick right hand. Alan tags Jay back when he gets in the ring and whips him to the ropes. Alan ducks down and picks Jay's leg for a single leg Boston Crab. Dusty shoves Joey back in the ring. The ref sees him and tries to roll him out while Dusty slips behind him and pulls Alan into a reverse DDT to break the hold. Cynric jumps in the ring to hit a spinning heel kick on Dusty. The ref pulls Cynric up and tries to remove him from the ring while Dusty pulls Jay to his feet and the both run the ropes to hit the compactor on Alan. Dusty rolls out of the ring, while Jay covers for a two count.)
(Alan kicks out and Jay quickly tags in Dusty. They hit the Mandate of Heaven on Alan as Fox tries to come in the ring. The ref stops him from interfiering as Jay holds Alan in the corner for Dusty to unload a series of right hands. When the ref turns, Jay lets go and Dusty hits a teardrop suplex. Alan tries to crawl to the corner, but Dusty pulls him into the Heel Stable's corner by his foot and drops an elbow to the back before turning him over and applying a cross armbreaker. He tags in Jay again who springboards into a double foot stomp to Alan's midsection. He covers after Dusty releases and rolls out, but Alan grabs the rope at two. Joey drops off the ring apron and bites Alan's hand. The ref reaches through the ropes to push him back as Jay and Dusty pull Alan up and get into position for Final Darkness. Austin runs along the ring apron and launches himself with a springboard leg lariat that knocks down Jay. Dusty hits the legsweep, but Alan rolls backward to his feet and rushes forward to tie up with Dusty and pull him into a powerslam. He rolls toward his corner and tags in Cynric.)
(Cynric climbs to the top rope and leaps across the ring, missing an elbow smash when Dusty rolls out of the way. Dusty pulls Cynric up and tries to pick him up for a vertical suplex, but Cynric reverses into one of his own and rolls backward into a front facelock. He rolls to the side and pulls Dusty up for a series of knee attacks followed by a DDT and a cover, but the ref doesn't count, telling Cynric that Dusty isn't the legal man. Cynric stands and is imediatly caught with an STO from Jay. Jay drags Cynric to the corner and stomps him before backing up and hitting a low dropkick to the jaw. He tags in Joey.)
(Joey gets in and starts dancing around, taunting Cynric. When Cynric stands they square off, Joey jabbing at Cynric. Cynric ducks under a right hand and locks up with Joey. Cynric tries to whip Joey but gets reversed into the ropes and hit with a leaping leg lariat. Cynric rolls to get his legs under him and gets pulled into a reverse DDT into Joey's knee. Joey applies a rear chinlock as Cynric fights his way to his feet. Cynric loosens the hold with a series of elbows to the midsection and launches Joey toward the ropes. Joey comes back with a shoulerblock, but Cynric doesn't even move. Cynric stands with his arms crossed and tips his head toward the ropes to dare Joey to try again. Joey runs the ropes and tries another shoulderblock that only knocks Cynric back one step. Cynric holds up one finger, calling for one more time. Joey looks pissed as he backs up to the ropes and runs all the way across the ring to rebound back toward Cynric. Instead of a shoulderblock, Joey fires a kick to Cynric's thigh. Cynric grunts and sinks to one knee as Joey backs up and rushes forward again. This time as he kicks, Cynric catches Joey's leg and hits a dragon screw legwhip. He keeps hold of Joey's leg and pulls him, forcing Joey to use the ropes to get up and keep his balance. Cynric lets go of Joey's leg and fires a roundhouse kick to Joey's thigh. Joey nearly screams as he collapses to the mat and rolls to the outside.)
(Cynric backs up against the ropes and hits a baseball slide that sends Joey crashing against the guardrail. He goes outside and grabs Joey by the back of his shirt and drags him back to the ring, shoving him in under the bottom rope. As he reaches for the bottom rope to climb back in, Nykk attacks with a double ax-handle in the back and a back suplex to the floor. Fox sees it and tries to cross the ring to stop the attack, but Joey heads him off with a clothesline. Both corners clear out into a brawl in the ring as Nykk pulls Cynric up and launches him toward the guardrail. Cynric flies over the rail into the second row, taking out several chairs in the process. Austin slips out of the ring and catches Nykk in a hangman's neckbreaker. He stands and hops over the guardrail to check on Cynric and help him back toward the ring. Jay runs across the ring apron and hits a missle dropkick on Austin. Cynric collapses to the floor and starts to crawl toward and into the ring. Nykk pulls him up right away and picks him up as if for the Aurora Driver. Alan acts quickly, stepping behind Nykk and catching Cynric, dropping him onto his feet and shoving him to thier team's corner as the ref finally starts to restore some order. Once the Heel Stable gathers in the corner and Joey tags in Dusty, Cynric tags in Fox.)
(Fox and Dusty circle eachother. Fox goes to lock up, but Dusty ducks under his arm and hits a hard knee to the midsection and a quick DDT. He goes to cover, but Fox sits up and catches Dusty in a fireman's carry, rolling him to the mat and standing up to hit a swift kick to the back. Dusty turns and backs to the ropes as he stands up. Fox catches up with him and tries to whip him to the corner. Dusty reverses the whip, and Fox jumps to the top rope, moonsaulting backward. Dusty ducks the attempted Fox Fire, but Fox lands on his feet behind Dusty and catches him with a monkey flip toward the opposite corner when he turns. Fox runs for the corner and climbs to the second rope, jumping off for a spinning guillotine legdrop. He covers for two. Fox backs away from Dusty and signals for the Tail End. He charges, but Dusty ducks and pulls Fox into the corner by his tights, sending him shoulder first into the ringpost. Dusty runs and tags in Nykk, who pulls Fox by his foot toward the Heel Stable corner. He bends over Fox and slaps his face a few times. Fox tries to swing back, but Nykk stomps him in the stomach and hits a leg drop. Nykk turns Fox over for a fujiwara armbar, but Fox rolls through to escape. He stands and runs the ropes, missing with a clothesline. Nykk catches him in a waistlock and pulls him into position for a back suplex. He rolls through for the Trinity series, hitting a German suplex and rolling through to set up the full nelson for the Dragon Suplex. Fox wraps his leg back to block the suplex, and Nykk pushes him down to clamp more pressure into the full nelson. Fox swings his head back to collide with Nykks, loosening his grip. Two more headbutts and Fox is able to break free, but doesn't get far before he's on the mat almost out. Nykk pulls him up to his feet by his hair and tries to lock up, but Fox fires with a quick roundhouse kick to the side. He tries another, but Nykk catches his leg. Fox hits an enzigiri and spins around to tag in Austin.)
(Austin hits a springboard shoulderblock to enter the ring and grounds Nykk with a series of mounted punches. He stands and charges the Heel corner, knocking Jay off the apron with a dropkick. Joey tries to get in the ring but gets DDTed. Dusty sneaks behind Austin and catches him in a full nelson as Jay gets back in the ring. Jay charges at Austin, but Austin jumps up and kicks at him with both legs. As Jay stumbles back Austin uses his momentum to fall, break the hold, and snapmare Dusty. Nykk spins Austin around and pulls him into a fireman's carry to hit a rolling samoan drop near a neutral corner. Nykk climbs to the top, but Austin rolls to his feet quick and jumps up to the second rope, superplexing Nykk into the ring. Jay catches Austin before he can cover and hits the Overhaul. Alan gets into the ring and grabs Jay for the exploder suplex. Nykk stands up but gets caught with the Tail End from Fox as he storm the ring and another brawl erupts. In the confusion Joey slips outside and puts his skateboard on the ring apron. Austin gets to his feet and catches Nykk, hitting a hard powerbomb and locking on the crimson cloverleaf. The Pyro Twins back out of the ring quickly and the ref turns to get Cynric, Alan, and Fox out of the ring. While the ref is occupied, Joey slips back into the ring and breaks the hold with a stomp to Austin's throat. Austin stands up and tries to chase after Joey, but Nykk catches his foot and holds on. Austin turns to break away from Nykk and Joey picks up the skateboard, holding it with a free hand over his knee as he catches Austin for his reverse DDT, smashing Austin's head against the skateboard.)
(Joey quickly pushes the skateboard so it rolls behind the ref and out of the ring as he rolls under the bottom rope the other way and Nykk applies the Bellbrookville Cedarleaf. As the ref turns and sees the submission hold applied and goes to check on Austin, the Pyro Twins run around the ring and catch Alan and Austin by the legs, pulling them to the floor. Fox appears too hurt to help. The ref checks and sees that Austin is knocked out, so he calls for the bell.)
Winners: The Heel Stable by referee decision.
Tara: Damn it, the ref didn't see the skateboard, he just saw the result, Austin Lee laid out and unconcious
Jon: The Heel Stable stealing victory on our first broadcast of the year. Is this a sign of things to come?
(The Heel Stable gather in the aisle. Joey is overexcited, despite being the most hurt of the group. Nykk smirks as he recovers his title belt, holding it up to the crowd as the other team check on Austin in the ring.)
Tara: Don't forget to tune in Friday for This Week in RCW, and we'll see you next week for more Foundation. We'll have news of Austin Lee's condition then. For Jon Z, this is Tara Fisher. Good night.
Jon: Bastards...
